A-Rod is so bad.
People used to bash Tim McCarver because he said so many obvious things, but at least he made sense.
A-Rod just says stuff.

A youthful 77.

Love how Benetti keeps talking about the Astros game and we've been losing since like the 4th inning. Worry about this team first.

By far the worst part of MLB.tv. Between that and having connectivity issues in certain parts of my new house, I think I am going to do the MLB package next year. Its only marginally more expensive, and you get mlb.tv with it too.
I don’t understand why it goes silent when they talk to the post game crew during the game. It’s odd to hear one side of a conversation or total silence for 15-30 seconds.

I also think Greg has confused the words cure and vaccine.
He also confuses facts and opinions, so this is no surprise.

What I want to know is why we're assuming illegal immigrants from Haiti (or, in general, from Central and South America) are bringing Covid-19 into the US at higher rates than the US population is already spreading it in some of those same border or immigration-heavy states like Texas, Florida and Arizona?
Hmmm…I can’t think of anything about Haitians, Central, and South Americans that would make good, red-blooded Americans feel differently about them. I’ll have to think about this a little more..

I work in the injury compensation field, and have pretty extensive experience with my agency of people (literally more than a thousand) who have been sick and filed injury claims because they have had COVID-19. I am not aware of any who have missed more than a day or two of work and filed claims because of a bad reaction to the vaccine. And I’d venture to say most who missed work because of a vaccine reaction only took time off because it was offered in advance as part of a liberal leave policy to encourage people to get vaccinated.

People be complaining.
Yeah, somehow our fanbase has already reached the point where we complain about everything the team does. I think we’re supposed to wait a season or two after a World Series win to turn on the team, but this is the first time in my life I’ve rooted for a playoff team two years in a row. I guess I don’t know how it works.

Obesity was causing full hospitals and completely burnt out emergency medicine staff and medicine shortages? Can you point me to this information?

Projected playoff teams records in their last 10 games
White Sox 6-4
Tampa 6-4
Red Sox 5-5
NYY 2-8
Houston 4-6
Braves 4-6
Milwaukee 7-3
Giants 6-4
LAD 6-4
Padres 6-4
I was looking at this also. The fact is a team that goes 9-7 every 16 games would end up with 90 wins.
If the Sox have a 9-7 stretch, there’s a not too small portion of the board that loses their mind.

He's a #5 and #5's don't start in the playoffs. He will definitely be given the courtesy of being put on the squad IMO and hopefully, we won't see him. I would give Tony and the FO a lot of credit if they put winning over courtesy but many would think it harsh.
Even if he’s not lined up to start a playoff game, he’ll make the roster. It's still important to have a guy who can potentially pitch multiple innings in the event of a starter getting injured, a blowout loss or extra inning game. Otherwise, there’s a possibility too many arms won’t be available in subsequent games.

My lady and I both had strep in July and Covid in October. Experiences ranked from best to worst:
1 - Me, Strep
2 - Her, Covid
3 - Me, Covid
4 - Her, StrepUm, ok.
Not sure what that has to do with me saying Rogan preached that COVID’s no big deal for a healthy person, and then he acted totally the opposite when he got it. He did what we should. He did the smart thing. But he told his 100s of 1000s of listeners no to worry.
Anyway, I know you like to get the last word, so you can have it if you want. I won’t respond to your next nonsensical post. I promise.-

He said "don't worry about it" not that he doesn't believe in it. "Don't worry about it" doesn't mean ignore it and spread it. They guy is a workout freak who is insanely wealthy. He wanted to feel shitty for less time. I don't know what's hard to understand about it.
I got strep in July. I never worried about it before I got it. After recovering from it I still don't worry about it. I still got antibiotics and stayed home until I wasn't contagious anymore.
Yep. Strep and COVID are exactly the same.

Rogan took monoclonal antibodies, ivermectin, a Z pack, prednisone and a vitamin drip. None of those treatments are experimental. Putting the vitamin drip aside, all of those drugs are FDA approved. In fact, exclusive of the monoclonal antibodies, all of these treatments are generic so they've been on the market and have had FDA patents for over 20 years. The drugs are covered by the media as experimental when they are anything but because the pharmaceutical companies have every incentive to create a new drug/treatment for covid that can generate profits. Additionally, so many people say "you're not a doctor, trust the professionals" when someone doesn't want the vaccine, wouldn't the same be true when evaluating Rogan's doctor's approach? My dad got pneumonia in the summer and when he was awaiting his covid results (he was negative) his doctor said if the test came back positive they would quickly shift to a cocktail of treatments just like Rogan's doctor prescribed.
Why take any meds? Why quarantine away from his family? He’s said if you’re young and healthy, exercise, eat right - you don’t need to worry about it. I guess it’s different when he gets it.
-
Interesting to see when guys like Joe Rogan contract the virus, all of the bluster (anti-masks, anti-vaccinate, healthy people are ok, etc) becomes “give me all the drugs” and I’m quarantining so my family doesn’t get it.

I don’t really understand this sentiment, I would argue that first base is a harder position to play and is usually involved almost every play (minus strikeouts). Left field helps limit the amount of times Eloy can be involved in the play. He’s a DH in LF.
Totally agree. The footwork alone that’s required would tie Eloy in a knot. LF is the easiest position on the field.

It’s amazing how often Jeopardy players don’t go for the higher value clues even when they are way behind the lead. They still start with the first clue and try to work down the category.
-
Mike Aldrete was 25 in his 1986 rookie year. Steve Stone did not face him and give up 4 hits to him in the minors.
-
That is a nice slide. I’m always surprised at how poorly so many MLB players slide. So many potential ankle, hand and shoulder injuries from how bad they slide.
-
Did they ever explain why Engel was taken out? Is it just because L Garcia has to play every game?

Bah, you can’t give your closer 6 days off and then put them out in a save situation without a day in mop up duty to work off the rust first. I feel like we’ve been watching closers implode when they get too much rest for 30 years.
Definitely too long to keep him off, but I think Liam is a guy who can pitch multiple innings/days in a row. The way TLR uses his pen, that makes Liam a perfect 7-8 guy on this team. This team. This year.
-
Feels like Kimbrel will end up being the 9th inning guy eventually. Might be better - Liam can be used more often and for longer if that’s the case.

Cease GM3 starter

Even if he throws a complete game shutout today, this ranks as one of your craziest, most misinformed posts. And that is really saying something.
